FIDE ALBUM POINTS 1914-2024*
The World Federation for Chess Composition (WFCC) publishes collections of the best and most representative chess problems and studies in periods of three years.
International titles for composers are granted according to the Album points. One point is given for each selected problem (1,67 points for endgame studies). In joint compositions the points are divided by the number of composers. The limits are as follows:
Grandmaster: 70 points
International master: 25 points
FIDE Master: 12 points
The composers in the following list have achieved more than 100 points in the albums.
* From 2022-24 only the WCCI 2022-24 points are included.
